My apologies but I just was constantly bothered by the title I chose "Diva". I should have known better, as a saved child of God, what we say  and do reflects on Him. Since Diva has the meaning of prima donna and goddess (that part I was not aware of), I just can't continue to use it. My apologies, as I know this means you need to change your links on your blogs. My daughter is in the process of transfering over all the posts.. Sadly, for now, I don't know what to do about the comments left on this blog. Our new address is. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thedietblog I should have subscribed to the old saying of K.I.S.S (keep it simple stupid). hee Hee..

All the comments have been transferred to the new address.. i will keep this blog running for awhile and then delete it.. Please change the links on your personal blogs to reflect the new address. Thanks!!

Please read Joyce's comments on the post "Ready, Set, Go". She is sooooooooo correct, you need to write your stuff down. It's important to see what you're eating, so you don't get fooled into thinking your eating less than you really are. Keeping a journel on your feelings is a very good idea, it will help you pin point if you're eating out of emotion.

Thanks Joyce

Just a quick post for now. I hope to post more later tonight. Thank you for the kind comments on my 'victory' yesterday. 

Jenn is doing great! Joyce is doing great too! And Sombra is working her "tuckus" off. Good job ladies!! I am very excited to hear about every little victory.  I would like to hear more about the challenges and how you are overcoming them. I am very excited also to hear how much we've lost. So let me know. My weigh in day is Sunday.

I am to the point in The Beck Diet solution book where she is suggesting that we do tasks each day. These are designed to help us change our thinking and approach to food. If you wish to participate in these tasks, then please read the previous post where I've listed supplies  needed. I will be posting on that tonight or tomorrow.

Changes

A "Cheerleading Section" has been added to the sidebar.  These are folks who are not 'members' but are praying for us and cheering us on! Thank you so much to our cheerleading section!!

Our newest member is Marie.  Joyce joined last night. Thier stories  can be found under the "Our Stories" section.

Telling your story is totally optional. I don't want anyone reading this to think they HAVE to. We are all on the same Journey and it helps to know each others progress and struggles but no one is required to 'tell all'. But to keep the ticker accurate, I would like to at least know the pounds you're trying to lose. 

I changed the name of the blog. I wish I could change the link address but I can't without re-doing the whole thing, I know that would send my daughter over the edge.

We have two new members! Welcome Joyce and Tess. I know Tess from my personal blog, so I am excited to see her here too. Joyce, I am looking forward to getting to know you .

 

Today (Wednesday), I went to a Wildlife Sanctuary with a friend and her daughter. You can see the pictures on my personal blog Passionforpurple. We had a good time. After we had  walked for a long time and saw all the animals, we then went out for lunch, I was nervous for one reason. I wanted to stick to my diet plan. Now, that is hard to do a restaurant, but I did very well!! I ordered thier special and I only ate half of it AND I told them not to bring the chips!!!!. Yeah for me!! I also did not snack off my childrens plates (Ok, I had two french fries) but that's it!  And later I restrained myself and had a very light dinner.

Now, I want to hear your challenges and how you've been meeting them this week?? When is your weigh in day? Please report your weight loss to me, so I can post it and celebrate with you.

Our blog is still going through changes. We've added a catagory  & created a  link to everyones story. More changes are still to  come. Thank you so much to my daughter Julia, who has worked so hard to get the template the way I want it.
